Famous
recent words of Senator Teddy Kennedy to his Latino-Hispanic talk-radio
friends.

After
singing a song in Spanish, as downloaded and played over and over
by talk-show hosts across the nation – to include Denver's Peter Boyles,
KHOW-630 AM – Senator Teddy Kennedy promised his south of the border
audience, "We won't let you down, my friends."

Kennedy
promised to deliver the amnesty bill! What happened? He failed! President
Bush failed, too, as did Senator Harry Reid. Why did they fail? "We-the-People"
disagreed – and the new paradigm known as "integrated lobbying" took
the Congress by storm.

We
must never put ourselves in the "immigration madness" box again. If
and when any member of the Congress drifts in that direction, we must
dump her/him immediately.

We
must take the time and energy to express our deepest and most profound
thanks to the politicians, congressional staff, and countless talk-radio
heroes, bloggers and their friends (NUMBERSUSA, FAIR, ALIPAC, FIRECOALITION,
The Social Contract) who did well by us.

The
REAL numbers – versus the Scam Numbers

The
urgency of the "immigration problem" is grossly understated, as
are the numbers of illegal aliens and their family members now here
in the U.S. Why is that? It is much easier to work on your sympathies
and emotions when you believe the number is "only 10-12 million" –
as opposed to what you will read below.

While
YOUR government told you, for political reasons, just as was done
in 1986, that "we only have 10-12 million illegal aliens in the U.S."
– the real number exceeds two to three times that.

The
truth about the number of illegal aliens now here?

The
"U.S. Illegal Alien Cohort" nears 28 million in June 2007.

20 million or more are adult illegal aliens, and · 8 million are children
(age 20-and-under) of illegal aliens who are born in the U.S. and
are counted within the cohort.

While
our government promised only 1 million legal aliens would immigrate
in 2006, the five cabinet fiefdoms added another million with "special
exceptions," such as the 360,000 'experts' who arrived from China.

With
the Cloture Vote momentum now prevailing, we share an opportunity
to turn the mess around by rapid and bold actions:

1.
Emergency Funding; $94 billion stand-alone bill needed

We
demand President Bush send to the Congress a $94 billion stand-alone,
emergency funding bill -- to pay for fully implementing the enforcement
laws already on the books.

2.
U.S. Immigration Czar needed

We
need, for the first time – a U.S. Immigration Czar – serving at the
Cabinet level. This competent, compassionate person must take the
reins from the five competing fiefdoms (State, Commerce, Labor, DHS,
etc) and restore law-and-order. For the immediate future, this Czar
must put a 10 year hold on all immigration. During that moratorium,
we must revamp the fatally-flawed USCIS.

3.
U.S. Immigration Strategic Plan needed

The
Immigration Czar must quickly draft a U.S. Immigration Strategic Plan
to restore our sovereign nation status, and avoid notions such as
a "guest-worker" program (never worked anywhere). Instead, we must
quadruple our university system to train our own knowledge workers.

At
the same time, we must restart the tried-and-true CCC, with an exciting
moniker ( CCC-2020) to train high-quality manual laborers and heavy
equipment operators while we upgrade our infrastructure and National
Parks and State Parks and County Parks everywhere.

In
addition, we must use tax-credits to IMMEDIATELY incentivize the agriculture
sector to shift from manual labor to mechanized farming.

4.
Good fences make for good neighbors

No
more fooling around -- assign the job of building the 2,100 mile long
World-Class Southern Border fence to the U.S. Navy Seabees -- who
will finish the job in two years, under budget. Why the Seabees? They
are past-masters and experts in building such fences, AND… they are
fully equipped to defend themselves. The fence will reduce the need
for border guards by 75 percent.

5.
Weak Link; U.S. Federal Court Throughput must be Doubled

The
key "sticking-point" is the need to restore law-and-order as we double
the entire U.S. Federal Court system -- to process all of the criminals.
Make this a temporary (seven-year) thing -- no new buildings – night
shifts. Yes, we must double the staff… temporarily.

6.
No new brick-and-mortar prisons are needed

To
make room for the scofflaws in our existing jails and prisons, we
must do two critically important things;

Revamp our
beliefs and approach toward those who use and abuse so-called
illicit drugs. We must re-instill the so-called protestant ethic
AND bite the bullet as we "legalize" certain "recreational drugs"
– and control those drugs, heavily taxed and handled just as we
do alcohol – perhaps using state-liquor sales stores. This will,
if properly done, result in half of those now imprisoned to be
placed in "boot camps" as they learn appropriate behavioral processes
and practices and return to productive citizenship.

We
must build a thousand tent-city jails near our southern border –
each equipped with a mini immigration court, with a highly-qualified
Magistrate assigned full-time to handle the many issues. As each
temporary facility is completed, we MUST use secure bus-vehicles
to transport the criminals from the jails-prisons.

7.
Tough love

To
investigate and apprehend the millions of crooked criminals who employ
the illegal aliens, we must kick-start a unified effort as
we direct that half of the U.S. Marshalls join with half of the DOJ-FBI
and all of the U.S. DHS-ICE and the DHS -C&BP as they move to the
CONUS interior and work together -- and also find-apprehend the 630,000
absconders.

U.S.
National Integrity and Ethics; As a key and related part of these
combined actions, we must avoid the temptation to abuse the stand-up
"migrant laborers" as they voluntarily repatriate -- when their jobs
disappear and are restored to the lower- middle-class U.S. citizen
taxpayers. As a nation, we want to be measured by our wise mercy and
compassion.

8.
Southern border: 7 Years, U.S. MARINES

In
order to free-up enough Border Patrol Agents to help do that job (7),
we must bring the U.S. Marines back from IRAQ and AFGHANISTAN and
assign them (just the Marines, nobody else -- there is ample precedent)
to patrol and enforce our southern border for seven years. That will
effectively quash the "importers." (Trafficking in Drugs, weapons,
terrorists, illegal aliens, etc.)

9.
Re-Implement the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution

We
demand that the Congress pass legislation that "reinterprets" the
14th Amendment -- to put a STOP to the inane practice of granting
citizenship to babies born to foreign nationals who are here illegally.

10.
No More Omnibus Bills – each bill must stand naked and alone

No
more omnibus bills. The House and Senate must stand tall and introduce
a series of related but stand-alone bills to deal with the secondary
immigration issues. Each 'great idea' must sink or swim based upon
its own merits. All bills must be simple, and transparent.

Are
you getting the message? Your government is telling you blatant lies.

Item
1 must be fully implemented ($94 BIL emergency funds authorization,
signed by the President) BEFORE the Congress adjourns for the 2007
Summer Recess. Items 2 - 9 must be substantially in-progress no later
than October 1, 2007, or sooner.

No
other immigration-related legislation can be considered until this
"Top-Ten" comes to fruition.
